I am serious, Are they going to cut What we are getting now in half? My brother in law keeps saying yeap they have done made it law! I keep saying not law yet.

Well? Anybody?Answers?
Congress would have to vote on any changes. At least they always have to vote on OUR LITTLE 1% (APPROX $10 a month) increase, then the President would have to sign it. (I always wonder how big a laugh they get over that. I'm sure there are lots of snickers anyway.)

Most of us in my town, can hardly make it now. We are so far below the poverty level we can't even see the top.

NEWS FLASH FOR ALL POLITICIANS AND LAW MAKERS:
If our SS was enough we could live on, we wouldn't need extra programs like the help with heating program, food programs and such.

If they want to trim the budget, cut out all saleries for out of office senators and house members. Why should they still receive even a small salary now they are out of office. Let them get a job like the rest of the country.
